- Wetsuits, mask, snorkel and fins
- Whale watching cruise followed by a swim with the magestic creatures
- Full trained crew and guide
Jump aboard the comfortable vessel for your adventure out on the water, in search of gentle giant Humpback whales. Once a whale is sighted, the boat is put into neutral 100m or more away from the whale, and if conditions are deemed safe by our trained crew, a guide will lead swimmers into the water with a floating safety line attached to the boat for your chance to get a little closer to them.
This is an incredibly rare experience enabling you to hang out with Humpback whales in their own domain. Immerse yourself in this truly moving experience and boast proudly that you have swam with Humpback whales! For those that would prefer not to climb into the waters and get wet this experience is just as fun from the boat as an observer.
